The Fast & The Furious films might finally get its Clone Wars treatment, as Netflix and DreamWorks announces the arrival of an animated series. So you can expect way more outrageous stunts to appear on screen, given the nature of animation. Specifically how much easier it is to defy reality when youโre drawing it. And to settle the concerns of fans who see this as a franchise diluting development, Vin Diesel himself has signed on as an Executive Producer.
In terms of story, the series wonโt follow the exploits of Dieselโs character, Dominic Toretto. Rather it will shift the focus on the family heโs so fond of going on about. A younger cousin by the name of Tony. And according to the official description at hand, this teenaged Tony Toretto will follow in the footsteps of his role model cousin Dom, โโฆ when he and his friend are recruited by a government-agency to infiltrate an elite racing leagueโฆโ, which apparently serves as a front for your stock standard criminal organisation โโฆ hell bent on world dominationโฆโ. As they always do.
From what we currently know, it sounds as though this might just duck outside of the wheelhouse of a regular F & F fan, though should work a treat for the fanโs kids. Personally, I doubt it will be any less intellectual than the main series already is, as there hasnโt exactly been a high precedent set.
